Thanks spirit.

I’m deferred after getting the accepted financial aid email. In terms of stats: 32 ACT. No AP’s because my school offers 3 and they are all science and I am horrible at science. My GPA is 3.4 weighted (school is insanely rigorous + unweighted GPA is even worse). School doesn’t give any honors to students. My essay is good and my recommendations are very good.

I guess I was deferred and not outright rejected because I have a bad GPA but my ACT score is okay. I know EA is only for the people who are obvious admits and they didn’t receive the 32 until November 20th, but I wish I didn’t have to wait until April to hear back from them. If ED was an option I would have done it. Showed as much interest as possible.
